Wowza. That was fun. Radar measured 60mph+ here (20 miles from NWS). We got all of it. My weather station had debris up on it so I lost good reading. Power out in Prior Lake area. Neighbors sailboat flipped over. #mnwx

Line of strong storms moving east across the state. Looks like the muggy weather near the center of the state has helped maintain strength. #mnwx

I, unfortunately, had a lot of work to catch up on today and...darn it... sounds like I missed the productive discussion on the benefits of early warning and keeping the public safe from severe weather. 😅 #mnwx

Ever wonder what Moderate - 15% actually means? Spoiler: it's not "15% chance of tornadoes". % needs to be compared against climatology %. For MN that's 1.00% today. So: 15% / 1% = 15x. "Forecasters believe it is 15x more likely than historical average day" #mnwx

All ingredients present for widespread severe risk on Monday. Wondering how long discrete storms will last to the north before it QLCS's / linear. Down south, keeping an eye on the dry line and discrete cells capable of producing large tornadoes. #mnwx

A cluster of severe storms is sprinting east at 60 mph this morning and has the potential to produce hail up to the size of ping pong balls.
These storms will reach the metro during rush hour.

I knew if I couldn't get down to the moisture, the best outcome would be 3 am bed time and a car wash. Glad I stayed back. Bummer.
